Empowering Business Park
The automation of the productive centres
2050 Scenario
Most of repetitive works will be carried out by machines or programs
The community leaders have the responsibility to
transform this threat into an opportunity
The destruction of occupations
generates at the same time a wide
variety of employments as engineers,
computer experts, electricians,
mechanics….
During decades, many factories decided to move
to Asia or South-America.
Since factories will need less workmanship, but
more specialized workers, many companies will
come back.

19. Empowering Business Park
The change to the home office
2050 Scenario
More jobs consisting of working full time in front of a computer using
the internet
More technologies that allow establishing multiple conferences,
calls, shared folders, shared desktop…
Factories and productive centers automation

Conclusions
• SPAANSE POLDER should not compete against Rotterdam parks
• Is essential finding the right policy implementations in order to know the
companies and workers needs and involve them to achieve the objectives
• A lack of planning in industrial development means a noteworthy handicap for the
competitiveness of the companies located within the park and, thus, for the whole
geographical area.
• Logic and recent experience remark that collaboration should be the next leap in
productivity
• My proposals are a brainstorm that should be studied deeply
• There is a lot of work to do… there are a lot of open opportunities
